ARCHIVED - There isn't enough Elitism in the community

I've found recently that; as I suppose the title would suggest, there is a lack of contempt for our fellow members - particularly contempt that in my opinion should be aimed towards those who don't have blue title bars, or indeed any well aged and matured titled bars. I've been here for more than 7 years and in all my time i've never seen such a lack of apparent loathing and disdain for the population of Bungie regulars by those, who like me should know better.
We should know better, because we are better. I'm quite frankly tired of this seemingly self replicating new found appreciation for those, who are quite frankly beneath us. It, to me is quite unfathomable that in this day and age we post in a forum with such tolerance and understanding. There are safe havens, only a few in number I might add that may appreciate this view - though it is my belief that the generation to which i belong, the generation that made Bnet what it is, is drifting into the abyss.
Who among you is capable of stepping up to the plate? Who among you has the know how to stop this most precious of cultures from disappearing entirely from our beloved forums. If we lose this, we lose our identity. Our community, to dust.

There is unrest in the forums, there is trouble with the fans
For the Members want attention, and the Mythics ignore their plans
The trouble with the Mythics, and they're quite convinced they're right
They say Members are too childish, posting spam all day and night
But the Members can't help their failings, they've not seen the ebb and flow
And they wonder why the Mythics get upset with their callow
There is trouble in the forums; all common sense is dead
As everyone screams, 'Elitists!', and the Mods just shake their heads
So the Mythics formed a union; self entitled they remained
'The Members are just too naive, we will make them feel ashamed!'
Now there's no more rouge oppression; the darkness has bored most jerks
And the fans are all kept equal, by Achronos, DeeJ, and Urk[/quote]
I am hiring a calligrapher to copy this masterpiece onto the finest vellum and a master woodcarver to produce a maple wood frame to hold it.

I blame the culture of niceness that is found on The Flood. Clearly we're all being too nice to each other.
This should stop[/quote]
The Flood is being nice?[/quote]Stop the press!

Meh. I'm 8 years old and as per usual senior-child relationships, the young'ns never listen to my wild tales of way back when. My obvious superiority, authority and knowledge in every relevant/important subject goes unnoticed.
The world seems in balance.

Post of the year and it's only January 3rd. It can only go downhill from here.[/quote]I've already put him in for nominations for 2013 and sent him a PM. Time for a [url=http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/277/963/bd5.gif]Bnet Dance Party.[/url][/quote]
That is the most accurate gif of this community that I have ever seen

Maybe we should divide up into factions and wage digital war via realspace?
Mythics v Legendary v Heroic v Member. GO![/quote]I'm strongly considering another [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=69498574]Bungie Community Pentathlon[/url] this year, although I do wonder whether it would be better dividing the mythics into two schools this time around, 'Royal Mythics' ('06 or older) and 'Plebian Mythics' (rest).[/quote]
Y'all know I'd destroy the competition.

Sounds fun but I got classes starting next week so I probably can't be in this one.[/quote]It will have to be on a weekend to run for a lengthy period without clashing with work/classes.

First one to link a photo of them outside of Bungie's studio with today's date on a piece of paper gets the first point per member in the photo.

Don't we all.[/quote]Not me, I get a ban/warning every time I'm mythic.[/quote]
You're destined to be Legendary.

I found this thread almost mildly interesting, and I realized that you were attempting to be humorous.
Because this is about the maximum level of wit one can expect from a Mythic Member, I say good job.[/quote]
Hey... ... ... ...
...Shut up....

I'd like to take this time to assure people that this joke has totally not been over done and is in no way indicative of a person with bad wit.
Also, Deej just told me that he is finally going to send me the box of chocolate chip cookies he totally promised.

Well, that was a rather salted wound mixed that ended up being mixed with chloroform eh?
Once Bungie is bright, I'm pretty confident that Elitism will rear its ugly head once more and make this Community go round.

I like that no one noticed I said

I actually meant that, it's actually good to see this place develop and 'grow up', for a change. Of course this thread is a parody and of course none of you should take it remotely seriously - it's here for light comedic effect.
If i got a few smirks, or a little chuckle my work is done. I'll be back to post a new thread in another 2 years.
